Ling Xiao found it strange that the next Junior Officer he encountered was still at the same rank, the only difference being that this fellow's attire was a bit more luxurious.
He initially thought it was nothing significant, since he had already killed one, so killing another seemed achievable.
However, it was not until the real fight began that he sensed something amiss.
"Could this be the legendary Heavenly Pulse Warrior?"
Ling Xiao had heard Wu Xiang mention the existence of Heavenly Pulse Warriors, a special presence in a unique period.
Without a doubt, this Junior Officer before him was in the nascent stage of becoming a Heavenly Pulse Warrior.
After a bitter struggle, Ling Xiao's arm was suddenly severed by the burst of Heavenly Origin Power from his opponent.
That was him moving quickly; otherwise, his whole body would have been split in two.
"Die!"
Ling Xiao's right arm was cut off; with his left, he swung the Rainfall Sword, beheading his adversary.
